Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
Pick guitar and fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou.
Hey là-bas

Now the Thibodaux's and the Fonteneaux's and the place is buzzin'
The kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
They dressedin styleand
they go hog-wild, me-oh my-oh
Son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
Pick guitar and fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou.
Ah Ha

(Engish Translation of the above verse)You have left me go to big Texas
So you could go oh so for with another
Criminal, what will I do by myself
You left me to go to big Texas
You left me so you could go
So you could go oh so far with another
Criminal, what will I do by myself
You have left me go to big Texas

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo
Because tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
Hey pick guitar and fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou.
Well, son of a gun we gonna have big fun.
Son of a gun we gonna have big fun.
Son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou.
